And slowly life returns to my version of normal...

I only have one more test! Thank goodness.

Though I have to be honest that I haven’t really been studying for them. I have a 90% average in all my classes and it’s really hard to focus when there is no possible way for me to fail. Actually it’s really hard me to focus as a general rule so you can see my difficulty.

I’ve been at home for the most

2cents on relationships

[alex_the_greate]

I dunno man. There's a lot about me that I'd be completely unwilling to give up for a relationship. I'd be willing to change jobs, but not willing to give up having my career. I'd be willing to try something new, like ballroom dancing, but I'm not willing to give up martial arts entirely.

There has to be a balance, and if being with the supposed "man of my dreams" means changing very fundamental things about who I am, then maybe he's not the man of MY dreams.

But then again, I'm not in a relationship, so what do I know. :P

Yeah now that I think about it I should really clarfy that. Obviously there is some compromise within a relationship and the right guy would never ask you to give up the things that are central to your life. My point is that if you had to give them up to be with him, you would. Though now that's starting to sound a little like a trashy romance novel.
Oh well...I should really study now.

You're right!

You wouldn't (shouldn't) have to give up the things that make you who you are. No man who really loves you would want you to. He'd want the opposite. Willing to give up a few things, yes. Willing to give up your identity? No.

PS. it is a trashy romance novel. They called it Twilight. jk :P

Actually when I said a person has to be willing to give things up and change I didn't mean the stuff that makes up your identity. I actually meant day to day stuff. It's not the lifelong hobbies column, it's the running an errand when you're tired, and the where do we go for lunch today. For example - Paul hates Chinese food and as a result I almost never eat it anymore. I love Chinese food, I used to eat it all the time. But when it comes to my career, he's extremely supportive.

It's not the big stuff that you usually end up giving up. It's a host of little things that matter, but don't matter enough.

So I wasn't logged in and this made me click a button that said I was over 18 because there was mature content in it! So of course I was surprised when there totally wasn't. I guess you accidentally changed the setting on this post?

"I think one of the reasons why I'm so hesitant in relationships is because I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I have my wonderful friends and family and I'm never lonely and I don't feel like anything is missing. It's not a bad thing but still...man, life is complicated."

That is a wonderful thing, Jessie! I'm really happy that you feel such a wholeness in your life without needing someone else to fill in the gaps. That's exactly the way it should be! And of course self-sufficiency and independence are attractive, so add that to your gorgeous looks and it's no wonder you have the attention of all the boys :)
